DONALD TRUMP AND Megyn Kelly met at Trump Tower in New York yesterday to clear the air after a very public falling out.
The Republican party’s presidential frontrunner has made no secret of his dislike of Kelly in recent months, initially claiming the Fox News host treated him unfairly in a television debate last August.
At the time Trump said Kelly had “blood coming out her eyes” and “blood coming out of her … wherever.” He later denied this was a reference to her being on her period.
Things further soured when he skipped another debate moderated by Kelly in January. Just last month Trump launched a Twitter attack on Kelly, calling her “highly overrated” and “crazy” (more than once).
At this point Fox News had enough and blasted Trump’s “extreme, sick obsession” with the presenter.
However, relations appear to have thawed following yesterday’s meeting – which Kelly requested. On her show last night she said the pair met for about an hour and “had a chance to clear the air”. She said they also discussed the possibility of doing an interview.
Later Trump told Fox’s Sean Hannity, Kelly was “very, very nice” and he gave her “a lot of credit” for requesting the meeting.
Battery charge dropped
Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that Trump’s campaign manager will not be prosecuted on a misdemeanour battery charge after prosecutors determined there wasn’t enough evidence to convict him of forcibly grabbing a female reporter.
Police charged Corey Lewandowski last month after determining a video recording showed him grabbing reporter Michelle Fields by the arm as she tried to ask Trump a question while he was leaving a campaign event on 8 March.
State attorney Dave Aronberg said during a news conference today that police were right to charge Lewandowski, but the burden on prosecutors to prove the case was higher.
Although there was probable cause to make an arrest, the evidence cannot prove all legally required elements of the crime alleged and is insufficient to support a criminal prosecution.
Fields, who worked for the conservative Breitbart News website at the time, tweeted a photograph of her bruised forearm and said she had been yanked backward.
Lewandowski had denied grabbing Fields and Trump stood by him, rejecting calls by his opponents to fire him. Instead he went after Fields, accusing her of exaggerating and changing her story.
The investigation proved, however, that Lewandowski “pulled Ms Fields back” as she attempted to interview Trump, according to a memo by another prosecutor, Chief Assistant State Attorney Adrienne Ellis. The memo says that Lewandowski could have believed Fields was “making unwanted physical contact with Mr Trump” that led him to pull her away.
On the Democrat side of things, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders will face off in a CNN presidential debate in New York tonight.

HACK ATM AND BECOME RICH TODAY!!!!
Hello everyone. There is a new way of making cash, although it is illegal but also a smart and easy way of living big. I used to be a barrack girl until i became eager and decided to change my life one way or the other. I got opportunity to register for the militant amnesty through connection thereby taking me out of the country for training in the United States for a period of 3years. To cut the story short, during my training i made some white friends who were geeks and also experts at ATM repairs, programming and execution who taught me various tips and tricks about breaking into an ATM. with my knowledge gained from my white geek friends, i have been able to counterfeit and programme a blank ATM card using various tools and software’s. I have ready-made programmed ATM cards; I am just 29, my family are in USA and i have cash, i have a car, i live in malaysia and i travel all around the world. i do my things on a low-key to avoid suspicion. Some of you will wonder why i am selling this out if truly i am already living large. It is because it is hard task doing it yourself, i wont lie to you, its not easy to hack ATM talk more of to reprogramme the card alone and be able to get 40,000 Kuwaiti dinar each day. It takes days and sometimes weeks. Some of you will want the ready made card to avoid the stress of doing it yourself and i don’t give the ready made card out for free because i spent days trying to make it available for you. on yahoomail, (luciafernando222@gmail.com) for request of the ATM NOTE: the ATM card has no pin, no registered account number. It has no limit for withdrawal and it is untraceable.(luciafernando222@gmail.com)
